As part of our commitment to developing the whole child, our school provides Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) sessions from EYFS to Year 6. Relationships and Health Education became statutory in all primary schools in the Summer term of 2021, with schools being advised to an adopt an additional age-appropriate Sex Education programme.
The programme selected to be used at St Francis is ‘Life to the Full Plus’ by TenTen. This programme has been written by Catholic scholars and has been developed to address the new statutory requirements outlined by the government as well as being sensitive to the Catholic context.
For further information about the sessions taught and the key decisions the school has made, in consultation with parents, staff and governors alike, regarding matters such as naming genitalia and teaching about the dangers of pornography, please see the additional documentation below.
